And do I mean good! Take a look at the work of lil' miss Caitlin! Our guest today happens to be one of my wonderful roommates who, on top of being a domestic goddess (which I say because she just cleaned half the apt. while I was curled up in a ball taking a nap), a bright and motivated student, and my date to Obama's commencement speech, happens to be quite the doodler.
Her handwriting? Glorious. The story here is that she was planning out her summer outfits for her aborted study abroad session to Spain. Though it didn't work out this summer, I have every faith that Caitlin will make it abroad as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

Though it didn't work out this summer, I have every faith that Caitlin will make it abroad as soon as the opportunity presents itself. I see all of these in pastel watercolors. There's something so light and summery about the floating dresses and shoes. I must admit that I do the exact same thing when I'm planning a trip.
Let's give it a hand for Caitlin for providing us with a page of her talent!
The rest of this entry is, sadly, not quite as exciting. These doodles were done on Sunday night as I was quickly running out of the study steam and filling my bellows with the sweet smoke of procrastination.
As you can see, I was blowing smoke rings of "I don't want to take notes anymore" all over the place.
I was also going through a bit of a feminist fit at the time. My boyfriend caught an earful, but I could have spouted off for hours. In a class on inequality, we spent a good two classes on the Civil Rights movement (but only the black civil rights movement) and maybe 20 minutes of one class on the woman's movement. The Woman's movement was not on the final.

On top of the doodles inspired by my anger at the complicated spot in society that women still must put up with (and, lets face it, often help to facilitate), I also have two brief sketches of some very awkward early 20 somethings that were sitting near me, playing board games, and having one of those conversations that can't help but make you cringe. We also have Aretha Franklin tidle-bits (as "Respect" came on the radio at around that time).
